Saskatchewan Advisory Map
In Saskatchewan, PDWAs were issued to a portion of the Town of Choiceland due to depressurization required to conduct
watermain repairs, Village of Drake due to distribution system depressurization resulting from a watermain break, Town of
Birch Hills due to unacceptable turbidity or particle counts in the treated water, Town of Eatonia due to a line break or
pressure loss in the distribution system, Sunset View Beach Waterworks due to a line repair, a portion of the Town of
Turtleford due to a line break or pressure loss in the distribution system. A previously issued PDWA to the Hamlet of
Jackfish Lake was lifted. First Nation BWAs were issued to Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation-Deschambault Lake Public Water System,
and to Saulteaux First Nation-Birch Lake PWS.
Québec Advisory Map
In Québec, previously issued BWAs in Rouyn-Noranda and Baie-Comeau were lifted.
In July 2018, an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness prompted the Provincial Government to issue a BWA to the Municipality of
Saint-Bernard. Over 300 users of the municipal drinking water system fell ill. Investigation of the entire distribution network
followed, but unfortunately the results were inconclusive as it was not possible to state with any degree of certainty, the
origin of the contamination. Today, over a year and a half later, the BWA is still in effect for Saint-Bernard residents and
it is not known when the water will again be safe to drink.
Nova Scotia Advisory Map
In Nova Scotia, in Dingwall, a precautionary Boil Order was issued by the Victoria County Water Utility, due to low
water levels in the tower following heavy demand on the supply in order to extinguish a fire which in turn, resulted in elevated
turbidity.
British Columbia Advisory Map
In British Columbia, a BWN was issued by Interior Health to Paul Lake Waterworks due to water treatment equipment failure.
Newfoundland and Labrador Advisory Map
In Newfoundland and Labrador, a BWA was issued to Centreville-Wareham-Trinity, Southwest Feeder Pond due to the distribution
system undergoing maintenance or repair.
Manitoba Advisory Map
In Manitoba, a First Nation BWA was issued to Northlands Dene Public Water System, reason not stated.
